All my life, you have told me that the world is a dark, cruel place. But now I see that the only thing dark and cruel about it is people like you.

You tell him, Quasi!

stuff i think about as i’m washing the dishes

so you know what i haven’t seen being discussed yet? a minor character who was a total dick and it passed over everyone’s heads.

i’m talking about

THE ARCHDEACON IN DISNEY’S HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME 

so we have this fellow here, a ‘father’, a highly religious person devoted to do god’s work. he leads the notre dame’s church and it’s followers for the past twenty years in the movie, and probably before that.

now let’s break this down.

we first see archie here (archdeacon is difficult to spell seriously what gives google didn’t even know how to correct me the first three times) stopping frollo from dumping quasimodo into the well - 

we can all agree that stopping infanticide it great! then he stands up to frollo, and guilt-trips him into keeping quasimodo and raise him as his own child. 

this is where it gets tricky. 

archie should be a smart guy - surely a scholar who spent years over the holy scriptures. he just saw frollo committing murder, killing an innocent woman. in fact, archie is still holding her cooling corpse in his arms as they discuss this - 

this is the person you want raising this child?? you know frollo is a cold hearted killer who has zero remorse over the most heinous crimes - he was about to drown a baby because he found it ugly, after killing said baby’s mom. the only reason he’s not killing it is because he’s afraid eternal damnation in hell. do you honestly think this is a person fit to raise a human being?? i wouldn’t even give him a cactus! i wouldn’t give him a fucking pet rock!!!1

BUT THIS ISN’T THE WORST PART YET.

archie houses quasimodo in the bell tower, then promptly IGNORES HIM FOR TWENTY YEARS. he could’ve taken him under his wing, could’ve educated him and given him purpose of working for god - making him part of the clergy - and opening the eyes of the community he’s leading towards tolerance and acceptance of people different from themselves.  

INSTEAD, he lets frollo emotionally abuse a person under the house of god, holds him virtually prisoner, and then makes said person/prisoner do grunt work - with no pay or appreciation! AND WHAT’S WITH HIDING THE CHILD IN THE BELL TOWER?? DO YOU HAVE NOT ONE SPARE ROOM IN ALL OF YOUR GINORMOUS CHURCH?? you just take frollo’s wish to have a child locked away, this is the one part you couldn’t lyric him out of?? that’s without even considering the horrendous safety hazards the bell tower poses to an infant, or a baby who’d just learning how to crawl. true archie swore to celibacy, but as far as i know there’s nothing saying archie can’t adopt orphans.

so you know, frollo might be the “official” bad-guy, but as i see it, archie represents the evil in just standing aside and doing nothing while you see blunt injustice before you; you can’t just throw the responsibility away from you.

and for archie, i say this - 

YOU NEVER CAN RUN FROM NOR HIDE WHAT YOU’VE DONE

FROM THE VERY EYES OF NOTRE DAME

YOU SCHMUCK. 

imma about to finish… quasi’s mom is the best disney mom OF ALL TIME.

[beethovencool]

Because the archdeacon is Frollo himself… You never realized Disney split original Frollo into 2 character (divided the good and the bad in him into 2 person). So, the first scene when they arguing about taking care quasimodo is actually Frollo talking to his other self and the last scene when Frollo yeet the archdeacon from the stair, is the symbolized of losing his sanity (i mean in the novel he like to talking to himself or sometimes act like completely different person if i’m not wrong)

Not my theory but i agree with this! Change my mind 🌝

[budjavlebac]

Yup!

I agree with @beethovencool 😌💖

So the theory that we had is basically that the Archdeacon is simply Frollo’s rational side.

This explains why he has such authority over Frollo. Why he’s alone in the church (those 3-4 priests that appear only at the start of Hellfire don’t count because they’re only there for that scene), why he only appears when Frollo is emotionally unstable, why he never visited or helped Quasimodo, why he did nothing when the cathedral was being attacked etc.

When we first see him, the Archdeacon is stopping Claude from killing Quasimodo. This is Frollo’s guilt speaking to him.

Next time we see him, he’s helping Esmeralda. Again, Frollo is being conflicted because one side of him (the Judge side) wants to arrest Esmeralda, while his rational mind is telling him not to because she’s in the sanctuary of Notre Dame. This also explains why the Archdeacon never bothered to help Esmeralda escape and disappers almost as soon as Frollo does.

We see him at the start of Hellfire. He’s preparing for the mass. I’m not 100% sure what this could represent in Frollo’s mind, but I do think that those hooded red figures are in fact the Archdeacon and those other few priests. And the voices that are singing ‘Mea Culpa’ are identical to that of the priests. So yes, I think those red figures are the Archdeacon and the other priests aka Frollo’s rational mind condeming him for his actions and sin.

Next, we see the Archdeacon trying to stop Frollo from going after Esmeralda and Quasimodo. This is the only scene where Frollo does not respect the Archdeacon’s wishes and even pushes him down the stairs. This is Frollo pushing his rationality aside as he complitely goes insane. This explains why the Archdeacon never bothered to get up and go after him.

Anyway, that’s just our little theory. Hope you liked it :)

The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (1996) Dir. Gary Trousdale And Kirk Wise

[guilty-as-battery-charged-deact]

There is no scene in any Disney or Pixar movie more METAL than Quasimodo breaking out of his chains in The Hunchback of Notre Dame 

Every apocalypse film ever WISHES they had the raw feral rage of this man about to save his best friend from being executed by a tyrant 

[croissant-shaped]

Can we just quickly talk about how Quasi is basically a superhero...

He just yanks a fully-grown man (and a hefty-looking one at that) clean off his feet WITH ONE HAND.

What we’re seeing here is essentially the Spiderman of Disney.

And again, he lifts a fully-grown man in a full suit of armour WITH ONE HAND.

Yep, that happened.

He doesn’t break the chains, he breaks the building. 

But I love that Quasi’s brute strength absolutely makes sense in this movie- he’s been ringing bells the size of elephants (and probably weight as well) nearly all his life - of course he’s going to be strong. 

It’s a great character point too - he doesn’t use his strength to intimidate (not counting the incident when he has that squabble with Phoebus in the Cathedral- he was protecting his new friend). But rather uses it, like any good superhero should, when he absolutely needs to in a pressured situation where he has no other choice. 

As the above examples tell us:

He needed his strength in order to defend himself and fight back against a ravenous mob

To get Esmeralda back to safety and then protect her from a supposed threat from a soldier

To aid in the hunt to warn Esmeralda about Frollo

And then finally when saving Esmeralda from the pyre

It’s also worth noting how often Quasi uses his strength specifically to help and/or protect Esmeralda, showing that his loyalty and heart is just as fierce and powerful as his strength.

As ‘Hercules’ taught us, a true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart. 

(Sorry, I didn’t anticipate how corny this post was going to get)
